The proposals to restrict parking in Kingsley Way The Market Place will have no benefit to traffic flow as there is on;y parking on one side of the road leaving space for all cars. The downside to the changes will be a loss of trade and my elderly patients will have difficulty visiting me.

Taking away the parking spaces near the shops will affect them and their customers badly. Without these shops there, it will be bad for local community. It's not the parking bays that cause the traffic bottlenecks.

This would be deadly for the small local shops that serve the community.

I have noted cars parked on the opposite side of the road to the shops, on Kingsley Way, at around 6pm. There is a yellow line with parking restricted from 8am to 6.30pm. These cars are certainly blocking the free flow of traffic. The problem is not caused by the few cars that are parked legitimately

This will really affect the shops. If I have a lot to buy, I have to drive down as cannot carry the shopping up the road. People picking children up use the shops while waiting. If the council wants extra revenue, why do they not restrict parking between 12 - 1pm.

More parking spaces should be allotted closer to the shops and severer restrictions for anyone parked on the opposite side blocking flow of traffic.

These shops offer rare facilities in area and parking restrictions would greatly inconvenience elderly and immobile shoppers such as myself.

Something needs to be done about the parking but this is the wrong solution. The side of the road OPPOSITE the shops, which is currently a single yellow line, should be made a double yellow line - most of the problems come when people are parked there!

The proposed restrictions will have a major effect on the surrounding businesses, the council should consider a pay and display or a limited amount of time free parking

These restrictions will be a disaster for the shop owners and businesses in the area and make life difficult for the residents who live in The Market Place.

This is a most ill-conceived proposal that will hurt visitiors to the area, local traders, shoppers, especially elderly and infirm ones. The current parking restrictions on Kingsley Way are bad enough, given that there are so few parking spaces to service such a large shopping parade and a very large number of flats and houses and their visitors and tradesmen. PLEASE RECONSIDER BEFORE YOU MAKE LIFE IN THAT AREA EVEN MORE STRESSFUL FOR SHOPPERS AND VISITORS!!

This will only force people into using the private car parking which businesses and residents pay for at 2 Lyttleton Road. The council are looking for extra ways to give people tickets and make money as usual. Ridiculous waste of council tax money.

Absolutely ridiculous, this will in effect kill all small businesses in the area and completely ruin the local schools and parks!!!!
